So I just bought the windows ce version of this unit http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MD...0_QL65&keywords=double+din+car+stereo+android. I was wondering, since it's made by the same company and the hardware seems the same, is their a way to install the Android os instead of having the windows ce os? Thank you for your help.

hey guys, Just bought the OUKU 6.2, it came preloaded with andriod 4.4. I have a quick question, do i still need to install the H9lak firmware update from on early pages of this topic to get the usb bluetooth dongle to work with my usb OBDII?

Thanks,

I only bought this head unit because it was suppose to work with the torque app!

Anybody have the screen go out? It will flash whitish when it powers on, but it never displays the splash screen or interface screen any more. It powers on, I can hear radio static over the speakers. I can't reset it or change anything. I had it pulled out of the dash to check the antenna power lead.

Was there any rom updates? I am running 2.3.7 that is posted to on the wiki. This stereo has work perfectly for years for me. I upgrade to the rooted 2.3.7 around 2 weeks ago and I need to upgrade the Google Playstore Framework. It failed. I wondered if there was a 4-6.0 upgrade? Or if anyone new how to upgrade the Play Store Framework.

I have one of these, entirely stock. Bought from Ali.

Working one day, now it's just gone absolutely blank. Nothing. Nil. Zilch.

The only thing that happens is if I hold down the on-off button, the electric aerial goes up and down, so power is getting in somewhere.

But the screen doesn't light up or anything (not even a backlight)

Any ideas? I really CBA sending this back to China.

Somebody can help with some diagnostic software for win ce or rewrite firmware for this mcu KLD?

Some mcu KLD links?

Many thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
If it's got WinCE, this is not the right place - this is for the pure Android units.

My only suggestions would be factory reset it, and if that doesn't work, buy a new unit. Your chances of repairing a hardware fault are very slim, and after hours of fixing it, you're still going to be using an old, cheap WinCE unit.

[Android Head-Units] Rice13318:
Good day all, I am pleased to have stumbled upon this thread while looking at Youtube for information on a Head Unit being sold on Amazon as the "TOCADO 6.2'' Car Stereo Radio Double 2 DIN Navigation TouchScreen Car DVD Player In-dash Car Audio AM/FM Radio Bluetooth USB SD Ipod with Backup Camera."

From the comments and descriptions given on this thread, the OUKO and TOCADO are the same however from what I've seen thus far you seem to have a better manual than what is given with the TOCADO.

Can anyone give me a link for a OUKU manual?
[Android Head-Units] Rice13318:
Hey! I'm new to this forum so I'm now seeing these post, can you direct me to the link for the updated firmware? The old link no longer works.

The bluetooth adapter must be plugged in to the rear USB connector , a four-port USB hub can be used.

Ca-Fi and TN8581 - two different units, similar in appearance. This firmware is for the Chinese TN8581, not for Ca-Fi!

If you have a radio with a capacitive screen, before firmware update, you must replace ” u-boot-skip.bin” with “u-boot-skip.bin.capacitive” (rename by removing .capacitive)

L].

I don’t advise to use Chinese adapters with dx and ali on clone of CSR chip. It loses connection and sometimes, comes up with an error of 7 ghost devices.

To turn on the Bluetooth and establish connection to ELM 327, you can use any third-party application such as “Quick Bluetooth Lite” that can manage Bluetooth settings.

Known issue: If an external Bluetooth enabled, the radio tries to pair with it. But, since “Torque” able to turn on or off Bluetooth, it is not very scary.

As an extra, now you can share files with your phone via Bluetooth.

All done, time to go make a pizza.""

To update firmware, simply unzip files to the root of SDcard. Turn off the device(ignition on), insert SDcard; while holding "menu" button push power button. That simple.[/QUOTE]

I wondered the same thing, just hook it up to the USB hub, so you can get wifi and OBD at the same time.
[Android Head-Units] software_samurai:
FYI: I chatted with "Mary" via pumpkin_cool on eBay yesterday, and she told me that the engineer said the capacitive touch screens are not yet "stable", so they can't offer them for customers. She also said that it would only be an upgrade option for the Android 2.3 units. I'm going to wait until they get that working before I purchase one for my Scion xB.

Some issues with my HU

Hey guys,

Great thread & info! Thanks. I also drank the coolaid, could not resist picking one of these up myself ;) So far the unit seems to be working fine. Having some minor issues wondering if anyone has come across any of them. I reached out to the vendor (pumkin_cool) but havent gotten a response :(

Issues / Rants

1) Reverse camera - Installed a wireless model (didnt exactly feel like running a cable from the back of my car to the front). Plugged it into the CAMERA RCA jack, no image. Plugged it into AUX, worked like a champ! The camera is wired to my reverse lights. I noticed that my HU had some extra cables, one of them also said camera. So I tried running that to my break light cable as well. Still nothing. Any thoughts?

2) iPod controls - Ok this is annoying. I have a classic ipod, ran the cables thru no problems. I can see my playlists populate, sort by genre etc but as soon as I select any song from the list it just randomly plays something else!?!?! Tried this with an iphone & ipod nano same result.

3) Button lights - After I installed my HU I noticed the lights would not come on. I came across a post in this thread & unlocked the feature. Now the lights stay on constantly. Not a big deal, but I would think the unit should draw power when the lights are on right?

As far as other items mentioned in this post, I also have an OBD2 wifi model. Unfortunately I cant use it because of the obvious reason, wont pick up adhoc devices. I've seen a few threads talking about how to enable it. Any thoughts? I dont think I want to go the USB or bluetooth route.

Apps - other than the basic's my fav so far is Waze (for navigation) & Winamp. I also installed CYMAN on it - just for kicks - but the mic seems to pick up every noise in the cabin. For it to work you need it to be quite.

Thanks and if I come up with any further info I'll keep you all posted. :)
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
not understand how she told you that. They have sold me and tell me that is better than the resistive. You said it referred to unstable?

I talked to Peter.
[Android Head-Units] software_samurai:

She said she would contact me when her engineer tells her it is stable and they're allowed to sell it to buyers.

Sirius Xm app

Great forum. I am looking at picking one of these up off eBay. Is there a difference in the ones that come with a reverse camera and the ones tha t don't? They all seem to have the same specs. Anything out there to avoid?

I understand it may not be the full play store. Has anyone gotten the Sirius Xm app to work on this unit?
[Android Head-Units] greekstile:
This has the full play store and the Sirius XM app works perfectly.
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
I ask and they response that...

thanks for your message this is mary,i mean now the capacitive is not more stable,so we are wait for factory then best one of capacitive one so please do not worry.

Re: running torque over the OBD USB cable, no bluetooth module

...So you did this, or you are just speculating?
[Android Head-Units] Talclipse:
what we need is to split this thread into a general discussion and actual development talk.i dont have a clue if anyone has been able to get a custom recovery onto this unit.

its a pretty sick unit that if we could get even half the development going on it like the phones do a man wouldnt need much more in his car!!
[Android Head-Units] greekstile:
I agree. I mean, even the title of this thread is pretty misleading. Ouku might be one of the names this unit is branded, but it seems to go by different names as well.

I don't believe anyone has managed to flash a custom recovery. It would have to be done manually via Terminal Emulator or perhaps wireless ADB (assuming you have root access), and also assuming there was a recovery version that might work. You can't flash it via Rom Manager, Goo Manager, or any of the other standard methods. None recognize the unit. All we really have is a rooted version of the factory firmware. Besides, until someone cooks up a rom, I don't think having a custom recovery will do much good.

So to summarize, all we really have at this point is root access.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Uhm. Pardon my ignorance, but "tried running the cable to my breaklight ???" No, that's the sense line, that one should go to the positive side of your reverse light. The moment that "camera" or "reverse" line detects 12V (ie, you engage reverse and your reverse light goes on), the headunit SHOULD switch automatically to the reverse input. At least, that's the way it works with all China RNS (WinCE based) headunits I've installed and used so far.
[Android Head-Units] G2k0:
And thats how its set up. The wireless camera has two untis. The transmitter and receiver.

The transmitter is in the rear of the car. Positive lead is wired into the positive wire of the break light. Negative lead grounded to the car's ground.

The receiver draws power from the head unit's positive lead & negative leads respectively (according to the camera's manual).

So when I put the car in reverse (hooked up to the camera rca on the HU) I get nothing. However, when I switch the rca input and put it on the aux line (rca jack) as soon as I put the car in reverse, I get a signal. Out of reverse the signal cuts out (which is how it should be). So what am I missing here? The reverse cable I was talking about is a physical wire coming out of the HU (brown wire). That I tried to wire into the reverse light cable thinking it wasnt registering. That did nothing.

UPDATE on my post #283

Ok so after speaking with the guys over at pumpkin they suggested up upgrade to firmware v2.12.35 for my ipod control issue.

After upgrading (and probably loosing my root access) the ipod control seems to be a bit better. At least now I can go thru my playlists, sort thru them and play whatever song I select from it.

OBD2 BT

Finally, I've got my "Mini ELM327 Bluetooth V1.5 OBD2", connected it to the unit(had to go through few issues, like: rebooting torque and re-connecting the ELM-unit and BTdongle. After all, it works fine, torque to OBD2 connection time is about 25sec.
[Android Head-Units] urgodfather:
It still doesn't sound like you have everything wired properly. Firstly, the camera should be wired to the + Reverse light wire not the + brake wire!! The counter part should be connected to the camera input, not aux input. The head unit has a Reverse wire that should be connected to the appropriate wire, typically in your steering column, or wherever your gear shifter is. This way, when you engage Reverse... voltage is applied to the Reverse wire on the head unit. Along with this, the receiver for your wireless camera should also be wired appropriately so it too would get voltage when Reverse is engaged. Finally, same goes for the transmitter (camera). It should be grounded to any ground, and WIRED TO YOUR + REVERSE LIGHT, so that when the light cuts on... voltage is applied to the camera also. Comprende'? If you still can't figure it out, take it to a stereo shop and pay them to do it.

In regards to your ipod, will the unit play podcasts or just music synced to the ipod? I haven't wired my ipod connects in.. been too cold and I work too much to pull my dash apart again. I plan to on Sunday.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

The title isn't misleading, the thread is for those with this exact unit. It is others who have similar units who have joined in the thread.

[/COLOR]

In regards to custom recovery, custom roms, root, etc... All things come in good time. Patience young grasshopper!! I'm sure I'm not the only one working on this. I don't believe a recovery is needed for this device. Its based off of a Freescale development board and those boards not have one (as far as I know). The bootloader is u-boot, which is open source... not some proprietary crap like our phones have. So, all you would need to do is compile the .bin and the .img files for the device and flash. This is just like any other chinese device... tablets, netbooks, etc. They all are designed the same way. Don't just sit there and complain, if you're not willing to put forth the effort yourself!!! It's people like you who have deterred me from sharing any of my custom roms.
[Android Head-Units] G2k0:
Sorry that was a typo. I meant to say reverse light, not break light. Well thats how I have it all setup. Like I said before, in AUX I only get a signal when I put the shifter in reverse. So obviously the wiring is ok and it works there. Anyway thanks for the replies & sarcasm. :good: I'll figure it out.

The ipod mode just plays music that is on the device. For kicks, I did picked up a composite cable and tested an iphone on it. In AUX mode I can see the display & sound coming out of it. Cant control the screen though from the HU. So technically you can go that route, the image quality isnt great and you will need to lock the iphone/ipad or whatever i device screen to fit the orientation.
[Android Head-Units] greekstile:
The title IS misleading. If you do an eBay search for an Ouku Android Head Unit/Radio/Car Stereo, it won't lead you to this exact unit. In fact, my unit doesn't say Ouku anywhere on it. Just trying to point out that there really is no brand.

Also, I'm not complaining. I'm not sure how providing some general background as to the status of a custom recovery is complaining. I'm not a dev, I'm just trying to share what I know.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Fireproof13:
Just got my USB Bluetooth adapter and obd2 Bluetooth adapter in and hopefully tonight I'll be able to root it and be able to run torque. I'm also going to try and run a program called evoscan that works with android and my STI, if it works I will not only be able to see engine diagnostics, but also be able to tune my car from the HU!
[Android Head-Units] gerrylum:
It's not that misleading. Frankly, there isn't really a way to do a search for this particular head unit on eBay, regardless of brand. The best you can do is search for "android head unit' and find it via comparing photos. There are just too many generic android-based head units on eBay right now. As to whether or not it says Ouku on the unit, well, I don't even think the actual Ouku units actually say Ouku anywhere on the unit.

As far as I understand Ouku is really just a generic manufacturer that builds these units (among others) and sells them to other companies who then put their own branding on it (such as Ca-Fi). In other words, the Ca-Fi is just a Ca-Fi branded Ouku unit.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
@G2K0 ... odd. So if I understand correctly, you NEVER get ANY display on the Camera-In line no matter what, but it does show on the Aux-In and it reacts on the status of the reverse light ? Could it be the label on the harness is simply wrong and the wire that is stated as "Aux-In" is really "Camera" ? Also, how many video inputs does the unit have ? Camera + Aux or Camera + Aux 1 + Aux 2 or .... ? If it has 2 Aux-In's, does the unit react on input on "Aux 2" ?

I have couple of little question to which I can't seem to find an answer, hope you don't mind (or somebody else), and I'm really interested in this unit.

1)The buttons illuminate Blue in most adds I saw so far. Can this unit change the colour of the buttons to Red ?

2)The Radio part : how long does it take for the unit to start-up the radio part ? As I understand it, you can't have any radio sound till the unit is completly booted, so that takes anywhere between 20 seconds and more (depening on root or not). Is that correct ?

The same about the reverse cam : if the unit is switched off, does it show up imideatly or does it also "have to wait till the unit is booted" ?

3)Last question about the radio part : can the radio part show stuff like station name/artist/title .... ?

4)Really last question for today : is the unit really usable as handsfree ? Because in my experience, headunits without external Mic generally ... well ... suck when it comes to sound quality of the handsfree function and you wind up shouting to your headunit while driving ....

The thing is : I have a cheap'n cheerful WinCE based headunit. I'd LIKE to have an android version instead, but not if it would mean that a lot of stuff I can do and have now would not be possible with this Android unit. I mean, my WinCE Radio starts up in 2 seconds flat or less (that's the time it takes to have a working radio inclusive sound), the reverse cam shows up IMMIDEATLY after shifting into reverse, regardless if the

headunit is switched on or off. The internal handsfree Mic was useless, but the unit had an external Mic function to solve this.

I like these functions, and as much as I want an Android headunit, I wouldn't like a headunit that takes 20 seconds or so to give me access to these functions or a headunit that is useless as handsfree because the handsfree Mic would be bad.

If anyone would be so kind to get me an honest answer to these questions, I would highly apriciate it !
[Android Head-Units] greekstile:
Agreed. As far as searching, the best way on eBay is to search for "pure android car stereo".
[Android Head-Units] Fireproof13:
@Kaween, the hands-free is god awful. It connects great but the sound quality is horrid, both with calls and music. Unless there is something that can be done about it, but I haven't found anything.
